Chapter 59

After the meeting, Secretary Wan kept Zhou Daoyi, Du Yimeng and Yu Lang. He looked at Yu Lang and Du Yimeng for a while longer, thinking of the small favor Yu Hongru had asked him to do.

He sighed helplessly in his heart. He was going to make a mistake today because he was going to abuse his power for personal gain.

Du Yimeng was puzzled. She was just a small section chief in the R&D department. Why did they keep her?

“Old Zhou, from a public perspective, making our fellow workers work on an empty stomach is an act of exploitation and is a mistake. From a private perspective, we cannot let our fellow workers sweat and cry. Both publicly and privately, this matter must be reported to our higher authorities.” Secretary Wan said to Zhou Daoyi with a serious face.

“I will definitely report what Secretary Wan criticized to my superiors. It was my dereliction of duty this time, and I will write a self-criticism later.” Zhou Daoyi lowered his head and accepted the scolding like a good and obedient student.

When Director Yu gets angry, his whole body exudes a creepy murderous intent, which is the momentum of someone who has experienced countless gunfire and killings.

If the person in front of you is angry, when he smiles at you, it is as if the god of death is smiling at you.

As the saying goes, there are two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. Similarly, those who come out of the same trench are all ruthless people!

“The food problem of tens of thousands of people in the machinery factory falls on you. It’s hard for you.” Secretary Wan said to Zhou Daoyi soothingly with a smile.

“Secretary Wan, you’re too kind. I’m the deputy director of the machinery factory, in charge of logistics. This is my responsibility.” Zhou Daoyi replied in a dull tone. It turned out that Secretary Wan saw his difficulties.

What I said just now was to remind him not to make mistakes. Everything is for his own good!

Du Yimeng’s eyes were always on Secretary Wan. Few people in the factory talked about him. He often stayed in his office and had a very low presence.

But she felt that he was just a sweeping monk in the machinery factory. He never asked about the factory’s affairs, but once the factory needed him, he would stand up immediately.

Moreover, he was very good at manipulating people’s hearts. With just two words, one tight and one loose, he was able to control Zhou Daoyi completely.

“There is a saying that goes, ‘As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems. Now there are difficulties everywhere. We have difficulties here, and other places also have difficulties. Let’s overcome them little by little. Later you and I will go to talk to County Magistrate Hu. If it really doesn’t work, we can think of other ways.” Secretary Wan said in a relaxed tone. This time he would not play dirty, he would use open tactics.

What they talked about, of course, was calling Yu Hongru in front of County Magistrate Hu and asking him whether he had received the foreign exchange order.

If not, it means that their machinery factory is incompetent and there is nothing to struggle for. Let’s all starve to death together.

If they got it, it would be different. Their machinery factory could earn foreign exchange for the country, but they made them work on an empty stomach. What was their intention?

The person who should be sweating at that time is County Mayor Hu.

Whether or not County Magistrate Hu can personally escort him out of the county magistrate’s office depends on whether Yu Hongru is helpful.

As for why he skipped the Grain Bureau and went to County Magistrate Hu, it was because he didn’t like wasting time. Even if he went to the Grain Bureau, it would be nonsense, so it would be better to go straight to someone who can make the decision.

Zhou Daoyi’s face lit up with joy after hearing what Secretary Wan said. He felt that this matter could probably be accomplished. He also wanted to ask County Magistrate Hu to make the decision, but unfortunately his rank was not high enough and he was not allowed in.

“Alang and Xiao Du, you two will come with us later.” Secretary Wan turned around and said to ? and Du Yimeng.

Yu Lang nodded, but Du Yimeng looked puzzled. What was he asking her to do?

She is a weakling, she can’t win an argument, let alone a fight. What else can she do except steal the oxygen from their air?

But she didn’t ask anything. As a qualified worker, she should not listen or not listen, and should not ask or not ask. Whatever the boss does is right.

…

At three o’clock in the afternoon, the four people came to the county government. Secretary Wan took Zhou Daoyi into the office of County Magistrate Hu, while Yu Lang and Du Yimeng were left outside.

The two chatted with County Magistrate Hu’s Secretary Liu for a few words and became familiar with him. After Secretary Liu left, they sat on the bench outside the office and waited.

“Do you know why Secretary Wan brought the two of us here?” Du Yimeng leaned his head towards Yu Lang and asked in a low voice.

She is still confused until now. She doesn’t understand why Secretary Wan asked her to come along?

Yu Lang’s nostrils were filled with the faint fragrance of her body, and he subconsciously moved towards the outside. Don’t get me wrong, it was purely a conditioned reflex.

Du Yimeng: …

When you ask him a question, why is he running away?

A bench is only this long, where can he move it to?

Sometimes people are just like this, regardless of other things. The further he moved outside, the closer she leaned towards him. Du Yimeng took up most of the last bench, leaving half of Yu Lang’s butt hanging in the air.

Secretary Liu, who had just stuck his head out of the secretary’s office, happened to see this scene. He wanted to ask the two to come to his office and wait for a while, but he felt that the two would prefer to stay outside.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that young people nowadays really know how to have fun.

When he was on a blind date with his wife, the two of them met as if they were meeting mortal enemies and neither of them looked at each other.

If he hadn’t been so thick-skinned, maybe even on their wedding night they would have… ahem… gone a little off topic.

By the way, when will County Magistrate Hu let him go to the grassroots?

On the other side, Du Yimeng smiled provocatively at Yu Lang: Move… If you have the guts, move to the ground…

“If Secretary Wan wants to convince County Magistrate Hu to increase the quantity of the machinery factory, he has to start with the Canton Fair. Calculating the time, the Canton Fair has already begun. If my father can get the foreign exchange order, this matter can be accomplished today.” Yu Lang explained.

If it weren’t for his excellent physique, he would have fallen to the ground by now. Who can sit for so long with half of his butt hanging?

The key point is that he didn’t dare to sit down hard, for fear that if he used too much force, the chair would lift up and they would both fall to the ground. Now he looked like he was sitting, but he was actually half squatting.

He just acted subconsciously, and he didn’t expect her to be so childish. Thinking of this, he tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his mouth.

“I guessed it, but does this have anything to do with us coming here?” Du Yimeng also guessed that Secretary Wan would start from this aspect. Is this what she asked?

“You’ll know in a moment.” He wanted to tell her that he didn’t know either, but seeing how naive she was, he couldn’t help but be naive for once.

He stood up slowly, then walked to her other side and sat down again. This time she moved closer to him, but he didn’t move. Unfortunately, to his disappointment, she was very obedient this time.

He turned to look at her, as if asking her if she was still moving.

I got a big eye roll…

He cleared his throat to ease the embarrassment. He felt that he was particularly childish today.
